Study of the properties of hard and soft particle production as a function of particle multiplicity in p-p collisions at √s = 7 TeV

Abstract

The characteristics of multi-particle production in p-p collisions at √s = 7 TeV are studied as a function of the event charged particle multiplicity (Nch), by classifying the measured tracks into two distinct classes, those belonging to jets and those belonging to the underlying event (UE). Charged tracks are measured within pseudorapidity |η| <2.4 above transverse momenta pT = 0.25 GeV/c and charged-particle jets are reconstructed above pT = 5 GeV/c with track-only information. The distributions of jet pT, average pT of UE tracks and jets, jet rates, and jet shapes are studied as a function of Nch and are compared to the predictions of the PYTHIA and HERWIG Monte Carlo (MC) event generators. As the event-multiplicity increases, PYTHIA systematically predicts higher jet rates and harder pT spectra than seen in the data, whereas HERWIG shows the opposite trend. In the lowest-multiplicity events, the data show narrower jets than predicted by both MC generators.
